Adding Legacy Tattoo to Mog Station

Are the tattoos tied with Legacy status? I don't think so... I think they are just 1.0 chars. Legacy account qualification was more than that I thought?

Legacy chars |= Legacy accounts

Yep, all you literally had to do was make a character during 1.0, you did not have to buy a sub or anything. it literally only means "I made this character between this time frame", which is kind of... not that meaningful.
As I had said earlier, I unfortunately did not know 1.0 existed. I would really like the chance to play a character that had fought in Carteneau, since that storyline is awesome.

Afaik this is not so. I was there for v.1.0 and my current character is technically still one and the same from that time. I don't have the legacy tattoo or anything to show for it aside from a couple of silly screenshots of my old character. I remember there being a campaign you had to participate in to get this tattoo and to qualify as legacy.

I checked with my friend that got 1.0 at the same time. His 1.0 character has a tattoo, but he never paid a sub. He probably logged in for free to check things out, but is not a legacy account. So the tattoo couldn't have been a legacy account entitlement. It might have meant that the character was logged in during a specific time, but doesn't mean you paid anything. He also pays the regular sub rate now, not the legacy rate.

So- while the legacy perks might indicate support... the tattoo doesn't. It's just a birthmark of sorts. You can have it without having paid them a dime after buying the game.

Exactly, it literally only means that you poked 1.0 at a certain time. It does not show significant achievement other than "hey I knew about the game and logged on!"

and it is a legacy thing, if your character is not there you don't deserver it, ask for something else maybe ? this is the 14234482039890849058th thread of the same thing had been disscuss since 2.0

Why do I not deserve it, because I did not know about the game during 1.0? That hardly seems fair. I am willing to dish out money for it now, and have spent quite a lot of time and effort on a game that I really like.
There are people that have/are eligible for it who never really even had interest in FFXIV 1.0 or 2.0, and probably never even subbed to either. I would really like to have my character be one from the Carteneau battle, it is a much more interesting story.

You have that regardless of any tattoo. The few NPCs (Cid and the Wandering Minstrel at least, possibly others) who didn't completely lose their memory of the Warriors of Light who fought there will recognize your character from that time. Some players got to play through that section of the story and the rest of us just got it as backstory, but our characters were there regardless.

The tattoo, as well as the special chocobo, are thank you gifts from SE to the players who were around during 1.0. There may be little tidbits of lore explaining them (I know there is for the chocobo, anyway), but it's not like the overall story changes for not having that little tidbit.
